Train to Busan Returns to U.S. and Canada Theaters in 4K for 10th Anniversary

Overview

• Well Go USA announced a 10th‑anniversary theatrical re-release of Train to Busan in the United States and Canada on August 14, 2026, presented in 4K, and published a new anniversary trailer with tickets now on sale.
• The original film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2016, became a global box‑office hit and a New York Times Critic’s Pick, and stars Gong Yoo, Ma Dong-seok, Choi Woo‑sik and Kim Su‑an.
• Doris Pfardrescher, president and CEO of Well Go USA, described the 4K run as a celebration of the film’s legacy and a way to reintroduce Yeon Sang‑ho’s work to North American theatergoers.
• The re-release is timed to precede Yeon’s new infection‑horror film Colony, which premiered at Cannes and is slated for a U.S. theatrical release on August 28, 2026, making the run a de facto promotional lead‑in for his newest work.
• Train to Busan’s success spawned follow‑ups including Peninsula and the animated prequel Seoul Station, and the 4K reissue could shape U.S. box‑office and critical momentum for Korean genre cinema this fall.
